What exactly happens in our brain that makes us “get over” an emotion like sadness or grief?

The question says it all. Human emotions (sadness, grief, happiness, etc.) can be very strong, but they also “fade away” over time. We explicitly remember all the details surrounding the emotion, but the emotion itself isn’t felt any more. What really happens in our brains to make this happen?

Sadness happens because sometimes a few of your brain cells get real sad and start bumming the other brain cells out. Sadly, the sad brain cells can’t be cured, but over time they *will* die out from alcohol poisoning.
